Slim Devices Duet


Anyone out there using this device as a part of your system? If so what Dac are you using with it? How easy is the remote to READ and use? Also any problems with the wireless feature of this device?

The Duet controller works like an iPod, very easy to use. I purchased a new wireless router (Apple Airport Extreme) when i got the Duet and I have never had a problem. I am using the Duet with a Bel Canto DAC2. Overall works great. I am very happy with it.
Only had mine for about 3 weeks and haven't really given it the time for comparision.
The remote is a dream for me. Fairly easy to get to albums or artist and the display is very readable. Wireless has not been a problem though I do have some concerns about waking up the computer. There are some suggestions on this that I have not attempted so not sure if this is a problem are not.
Using a Modded Lite Dac Ah and though I haven't taken the time to do a comparison to my cd player I am fairly happy with the sound.
My only real complaint is documentation for the device. If not for my son (computer geek) I am not sure if I could have gotten it set up and functional. There is however good support here and at other forums with very knowledgable people to assist if you have problems.

We bought a few of these for investigative purposes. Had a hard time getting the remote to recognise some of them. Spent hours with the tech support, and eventually they all worked. No idea what the problem was. Only guess (on both of our parts) was too many other wireless networks around.
Ar_t - It is imperative that you upgrade the software on the computer and the firmware in the receiver and transmitter (remote). They have been doing lot of bug fixes at Logitech/Slim Devices. Last time I did this upgrade, it worked perfectly. They have a special Beta download site.
I got it to work without doing any of that. Factory reset, etc. had no effect. I did try the latest s/w (7.2?) on my computer, and it would not work.
